    Token, not a coin.

    Nice, but not a coin of the realm.

    By recall, Modigliani was an artist at the Rome mint and designed many coins; I never claimed this specimen was a coin if you check the wording.
    Point being, designs now are quite horrible by comparison.

    You should see the 1911 50th anniversary of the Italian unification coins.

    Yes, out of my area but saw it at auction - those colors are what the coin actually has. What I like is the intricacy of detail.
    The 20c above that WB shows is a better version of the US Platinum coin of 2-3 years ago.

    That 1906 frontal face is really well done. Who at the U.S.Mint decides that todays coin designs can't use the classical Greco Roman style. Politicians should not be picking designs. Peace Roy

    Early 20th century Italian coins - a number of beautiful classic designs. Here's another.

    "The vaccines work,” Trump said, adding that the people who “get very sick and go to the hospital” are unvaccinated.
    “Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get it, it’s a very minor form,” Trump continued. “People aren’t dying when they take the vaccine.”

    The Italian King from 1900 to 1946, Victor Emmanuel III, was a top notch Numismatist.

    He supposedly had over 100,000 coins from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Unification of Italy.

    Wonder where Vic's collection went? Given it was Italy, gotta be a catalogue in archives on that accomplishment. Peace Roy

    Even though this token was considered a token the value has gone up considerably in the last few years and they are in the Italian catalog salong with the other token of the times the rarer are the gold ones of course. The red Cross ones are enameled
